Our eco responsible commitments – Water – Eco-washing of cable car cabins

The Régie du Téléphérique is in charge of the maintenance of the cable car but also the cleaning of the cable car cabins.

This cleaning is done once or twice a week, depending on the season, and concerns both the interior and the exterior. The most effective technique is to use water, soap and elbow grease! Each service is done in a reasoned way to preserve water resources, especially in periods of high heat and drought!

From reasoned cleaning to Eco-washing:

To go beyond this good conduct, the cable car management has installed since January 2023, in the lower station of the cable car, a water recovery tank, in order to collect rainwater from the roof of the station.
Located in the old elevator machinery, this tank has a capacity of 1300 liters and allows 2 to 3 weeks of washing when it is full. This installation was equipped with a heating cord to use this system even in periods of frost.

Patricia Gallois, director of the cable car, specifies: “According to the rainfall over the past 5 years and our calculations with a recovery surface on the roof of 180 m², we should be able to use this recycling all of the year! Water is a precious, we must be responsible in its use.»
